Fredric Francois Chopin
1810-1849, composer for the piano, was born near Warsaw, of French and Polish parentage.
His lyrical, often melancholy, compositions brought romantic piano music to unprecedented expressive heights
Chopin established the piano as a solo instrument free from choral or orchestral
influence. Even in the piano concertos in E Minor (1833) and F Minor (1836), the
orchestra is completely dominated by the piano.

The awe-inspiring Masterpiece! Carving requires a sure knowledge of the final form desired, for a material such as marble or granite cannot be restored once it is cut off. To lessen the risk of error sculptors often make small models in clay, wax, or plasticine, scaled to proper proportions, before undertaking the final carving. Sometimes a pointing machine is used to help transfer the exact contours of the model to the final stone. This machine, which mounts a movable needle, transfers to the final material a series of points corresponding exactly to those made on the model. With this mechanical guide the sculptor knows just where to carve.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
